By Mercury Communication Check-In
With Mercury in the sign of the cat and a lunar conjunction to Venus, exaggeration will be employed to make the praise more exciting, the story more interesting and the accomplishment more remarkable. Is it lying, or is it just good manners to make things more entertaining for your audience? Only you know where to draw the line for you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). With the introduction of a new person to your circle, a subtle enthusiasm starts to grow. It’s as though the shadows of a dimly lit room are being overtaken by a new source of light.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A relationship will play out like a game of tag. It would be a dull game if one person always pursued and the other was always running, so a change-up is good. The chaser will now be chased.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re looking for signs that you’re on the right track, but this is like a long stretch of highway between distant towns where even the billboards aren’t sure what to call attention to. Trust and roll on, toward the horizon.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Let people help you. It will free you up to spend your time where it will make the most difference. There is plenty else to focus on, but you won’t see it if you’re busy with tasks that others would gladly claim.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re happy to play your role, though it’s not always clear what that is. Some of it gets sorted in subtle competition and acts of dominance and deference. Once a hierarchy is established, there’s a shuffle to align with it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll dream of tomorrow — not of the metaphorical future, but the actual day, which starts after midnight. To vividly envision events is to pave the way to bringing them into reality.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Philosopher Peter Deunov suggested, “The fragrance of flowers is their prayer.” Similarly, your innate qualities — your kindness, creativity, intelligence and compassion — act as your unique signature today, enhancing your surroundings.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are the real deal, walking your talk every day. It would be impossible for a networking opportunity to catch you by surprise. But what you offer is always changing, and you will continue to tune your pitch today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Awareness of breath is awareness of life. What makes you catch your breath? What makes you hold it? When is it deeper? What makes you exhale? Today will make literal a “breathtaking” moment.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Everyone falls into ruts from time to time. If you’re no longer going forward, look for something that will help you lever yourself up, out and onto a path that allows for greater ease of movement.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll hone your skills and grow your talents through independent practice. You’re in a league of your own, competing against yourself, and it’s even more challenging than many others you’ve gone up against.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The issue that once seemed cut-and-dried now invites many perspectives. There is no clear winner in today’s game. Good sportsmanship is honed through close calls and unusual circumstances.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 5). Prioritize relationships and they bring you opportunities in every area of life. After your selfless aims produce magic for others, your own life gets touched by auspicious grace. More highlights: You’ll discover untapped talents, be chosen for interesting assignments and explore the world some, too. Sagittarius and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 4, 21, 13 and 35.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: “I always knew I was a star,” said Freddie Mercury, “and now the rest of the world seems to agree with me.” Among music’s all-time greatest voices, Freddie Mercury composed hits for Queen including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Killer Queen” and “Somebody to Love.” Mercury was born under a Virgo sun and has four luminaries in artistic Libra. Two luminaries in Leo, the sign of entertainment, bring the fire.
